Recalled Meat May Have Reached Stores and Restaurants in NC and SC

Products distributed nationally after leaving Georgia supplier

NATIONAL RECALL:  The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) confirmed that the ongoing Class I recall involving Star Meat Delivery Inc. may affect retail and restaurant locations in both North Carolina and South Carolina.

The recall covers 167,639 pounds of pork, beef, and goat produced without federal inspection and bearing a false USDA mark of inspection.

According to FSIS, the uninspected products were shipped in bulk to A&D Foods in Duluth, Georgia, which then distributed the meat to stores and restaurants nationwide.

Because the distributor serves multiple regions and because repackaging is common in the retail sector, FSIS states that affected products may appear under different store labels and may not display the A&D Foods name.

FSIS advises consumers and food-service operators to check for the false establishment number EST. 1363 and to discard any product that cannot be verified as inspected.

The agency notes that retail distribution lists are not yet available, meaning specific store names in North Carolina and South Carolina have not been released.

Consumers with questions may contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888‑674‑6854 or FSIS Congressional and Public Affairs at FSISpress@usda.gov
